Full iOS PWA compatibility with push notification support is here!
iOS 16.4, released on April 7, 2023, finally introduced push notifications for iOS devices. If you want to try this functionality out, you will need to install this site as a PWA (by utilizing the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari).
Now as of today, this site now satisfies all of the prerequisites for this to support push notifications which can be enabled by our members once they log in through the PWA and enable push notifications in their Preferences.
Load Safari on your iOS device. Visit the forums. Then at the bottom center of the screen (for an iPhone), click the square box with the up arrow pointing out of it. That is the button you would use to 'share' a page with a friend. Scroll down, and select 'Add to Home Screen'. Click on the icon added to your device, bring up the site, and login as you normally would. Then near the bottom of the screen, it should ask you for permission to allow the site to provide push notifications.
The PWA (progressive web app) has now been enhanced with additional gesture based or UI controls, including pull down to refresh and a floating back button.
IS IT WORKING? If you want to confirm that it is working, on an iPhone go to: Settings -> Notifications -> scroll down and find "KLOV/VAPS Forums". If you don't see it, you may have an issue. If you do, you can click on it to confirm 'Allow Notifications' is on (or in the future, to turn it off if you change your mind.)
For further information on installing a PWA on iOS, Android, or on Windows or Mac (Edge or Chrome), the CDC has a simple explanation page. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining/content/hearingloss/installPWA.html
